Poodle skirts, sock hops, the birth of rock & roll and dreamy teen idols are just some of the things that dominated 1950s popular culture in America among teenagers. Never before in American history were teenagers allowed to have a voice and teen idols spoke for an entire generation.
Whether it was singing a song about love or sticking it to the man on the silver screen, the teen idol gave a voice to millions of angst ridden teenagers living in Eisenhower America. Unfortunately, in Hollywood nothing lasts forever.
In this episode of Weird! True Hollywood Tales, we'll be presenting the biographies of 1950s teen idols Frankie Lymon, Ricky Nelson with our headliner biography being the ultimate 50s teen screen idol; James Dean. We'll also discuss the strange deaths associated with the cast of Rebel Without A Cause and the influence of teenage tragedy songs.
